Workshop Description: In just sixteen to twenty-four pages, picture books provide a concise model for children who still think and generalize in very concrete terms. This workshop will cover the many ways that picture books can be used to introduce and extend themes and topics across the curriculum. This will be accomplished through a discussion of recommended titles and their applications for Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Character Education.

As a result of attending this presentation, participants will be able to
• Select picture books which lend themselves to a thematic approach;
• Access numerous online resources providing book lists and teaching ideas;
• Incorporate picture books into existing curriculum; and
• Use picture books as models and prompts for student discussion and writing.
